HEATWAVE WARNING FOR BOWLERS

Stay Cool. Stay Safe. Still Enjoy the Game.

With high temperatures across the UK, here’s how bowlers and families can beat the heat:

Drink water often – avoid alcohol or sugary drinks

Play early or late – avoid 11am–5pm sun

Wear light, loose clothes – plus hat & UV sunglasses

Use SPF 30+ sunscreen – reapply every 2 hours

Rest in the shade – 2–3 hours in a cool place daily

Check on older bowlers & little ones – they’re most at risk

Never expose babies under 6 months to sun, even in shade

Clubs – consider shifting match times and display this advice on noticeboards.

Bowls is for everyone. Let’s make sure it’s safe for everyone, too.
